Recent move affected sleep habits (and other things)?
So I'm a senior in high school and over the summer my family moved from a high school of 2,200 to a town the same size. A big change.
It was a hard transition, but I think I am almost through it. However, one thing I noticed that has been getting worse is my sleep. I can't fall asleep, no matter how exhausted I am until midnight- no naps, no matter what I try. I am sooo tired but can't sleep. I've become restless as well, and can't sit still anymore (I used to be able to for hours). I now have an extremely short attention span and am often jittery. My hormones have been crazy as well. My period is irregular and I have been acting strangely, but have no clue why. For example, I have become obsessed with a boy I barely know, more obsessed than I can ever remember being with a boy before. I've also been more irritable lately.
Please help? I need some advice. Thanks! :)

Rerlax and have a nice warm glass of milk or a hot cup of decaf calming tea before tucking in. Find a really good book to read. This always helps me. Sometimes I close my eyes and visualize water cascading down from my head to my toes. This is so soothing.
It is difficult to acclimate yourself to a new home, especially at night when you need your rest. This may take a few more months to adjust and get comfy. :D
Besides, this is your last year in a new school. Making new friends, new classes, finding your way around a whole new environment, emotionally and physically. If you are going on to college you must find new resources and counseling.
You have a lot on your mind right now! It is understandable for you to feel this way. :D

You need to see a psychiatrist, you may be suffering from a mood disorder triggered by the stress of the move. You could be Bi-polar or suffering from major depressive disorder. Also, they may consider ADHD. These are all manageable with medication and you may not need to take the meds for life. Adolescence is a common time for these illnesses to rear their ugly heads. Good luck! If you choose not to see an MD, try some melatonin, it is over the counter and helps with sleep.
